Alex back on the pod today as we touch briefly on cranks from the past and Ye’s nitrous fixation. Then, Biden and his team continue to seethe about being kicked off the ticket, while Tim Waltz’s midwestern diet sends the right into some sort of race-based rage. Then, despite his possible PTSD, Trump is still able to toss off some casual insults to cherished American institutions that would get any other politicians run out of town and Bolsonaro attacked by bees.

Taco about it??

PRAISE THE SLOP

Tristan Clark

Well look at the time. Slop o'clock.

My personal white guy taco recipe is eating (listening to) slop (Chapo Trap House) while nude (masturbating)

Schwartz666

Keep casserole'n, rollin, rolllin!

Schwartz666

We shall Tim Waltz on their graves!

Schwartz666

Jesus, you ava once again reminded how creepy JD looks. Like an even more dead-eyed Cabbage Patch doll.

JD Nonce

That’s actually a picture of forcibly shaved Will

Mr. Weeks got an "online advocacy" award from Hillary herself. And that was after he got banned from Twitter for the first time with his "Bernie is a fake fucking Jew" post

zeeee - Generation Chill

The guy who invented nangs was not jewish: "Priestley's science was integral to his theology, and he consistently tried to fuse Enlightenment rationalism with Christian theism.[10] In his metaphysical texts, Priestley attempted to combine theism, materialism, and determinism, a project that has been called "audacious and original".[11] He believed that a proper understanding of the natural world would promote human progress and eventually bring about the Christian millennium.[11] Priestley, who strongly believed in the free and open exchange of ideas, advocated toleration and equal rights for religious Dissenters, which also led him to help found Unitarianism in England. The controversial nature of Priestley's publications, combined with his outspoken support of the American Revolution and later the French Revolution,[12][13] aroused public and governmental contempt; eventually forcing him to flee in 1791, first to London and then to the United States, after a mob burned down his Birmingham home and church. He spent his last ten years in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania."

Walz getting married on the Tiananmen Square 5th anniversary is creepy tbh. He’s got total Falun Gong brain.

chronye

that ‘get a switch or theyll get the whole tree’ is verbatim richard pryor bit

Michael S. Judge

Trump could be sincere about finding Kamala hot, he just thinks she's an 8 and he's a 10

Schwartz666

Come on, there's no way he actually chose that date to even hyperbolically "commemorate a massacre." It's synchronicity at best.

12345

I think we need to ban articles about 'social media backlash'. If it's not outrageous enough to send atleast an email it doesn't count.

Schwartz666

Man, I don't know if it's cuz I live in MN, but I really like Walz. A lot of ppl shit on him cuz he is goofy and folksy, but he seems far more authentic than 99% of politicians at his level. Plus, not a goddamn lawyer. I guess time will tell... Walz 2028

Declan Kennedy

there's a symmetry to the campaigns when it comes to outrage farming, like the AI Taylor Swift endorsement for Trump is just baiting all the people who now call themselves Swifties because the right got so red and mad about her in the past year, which sort of proves the Felix hypothesis that all Americans really are the same person regardless of their politics that being said, the relative success of the approach from each side proves another Felix hypothesis, that the current media consumption environment means that voters are able to become and stay mad at republicans even when they're not in power because they are pathologically incapable of shutting the fuck up and not being annoying 24/7

Ian H

Nothing less relatable to me as a Ravens fan than the right's disrespect for DCs. Marvin Lewis, Mike Nolan, Rex Ryan, Chuck Pagano, Mike Mcdonald, even Dean Pees, all titans of the sport.

Talcum Gladwell

I just realized Alex Nichols and Ettingermentum aren’t the same person. In my defense I had never heard of either of them until this summer.

Milton Heath

Talking about tacos, I think what’s not discussed is how the urban and educated bias of Democrats makes the white sensitivity to criticism incomprehensible. If you’re a poor, rural person, you don’t “own all the money”, and your life is precarious like all poor folk. Your cooking might be a point of pride—unlike the yuppies you imagine all Democrats to be—but in general the GOP’s defensiveness speaks to the insecurity of their voters. It’s similar to the persecution complex of evangelicals.

Watermane

Joe Bidens legacy is indeed so funny. He'll hate it so much lol

MATT TRIANO

WHO THE FUCK IS MISTER WEEKS

Tim

I thought Mr. Weeks was a house husband to an investment banker whose kids were friends with Barron.

anthony potter

Sam Brown is a Deadpool and Michael Phelps's love child

Eric Murphy

I can get a tank no prob it's stupid easy and not even that expensive.

bogswallop

Had to replay the bit where they're talking about Biden getting ousted cause its so psychically satisfying

Joel.

Sad news about the Vic video series. If anyone hasn't seen this guy he makes cracker videos that feel a lot like Vics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiX5Nn4X-4Q If i shouldn't be plugging someone elses stuff here i apologise.

Robert Armstrong

That's the thing about granddaddy finally letting you take his keys - he'll never let you hear the end of it.

Grey

RDR2 spoiler? c'mon, I just bought the game 🙃

Tim O'

You're telling me "Mike Barnacle" isn't a one-off Spongebob character?

Nick

Lula protects the hive

William

That’s not why I’m shitting on him. He’s great value bernie

Byron Lagrone

Last call, I've got two tickets 'gold circle' for the Chicago show I'm trying to sell, dm me or w/e. Sad we can't make it :(

Ardy Rezv

Tbh I’ve been very critical of almost everything any democrat has done the last 8 years but now that Tim Guevara or Che Walz (whichever one sounds better) is on the ticket I’m sold!

Ardy Rezv

Also boys we all know we’re going to have to support the dem ticket come November. It’s time to mend fences. Pod save/Chaop collab live show. With special appearances from Bernie, Aoc, Hillary and Kamala? Would be your best episode ever!

TK

Episode thumbnails always bang but this is the best one

SF

He’s an ardent Zionist and he’s a kooky Falun Gong regime change guy about China. He sucks ass lol

SF

No sorry the dude has Falun Gong brain. There was a list going round with all the bills he’s sponsored or whatever on China. Really bad stuff. Photos of him grinning with Joshua Wong lol

Mac

It’s 10000% midwestern thing. I’m from MI and my mom thinks anything other than salt and pepper is “fancy” this shit has been going on forever

William

You fuck with the rainforest you get the bees. Watch out motherfucker

Jaime Christley

Question: do you wash your chicken? No judgment! Just curious.

Valentino

We're erasing the noble sacrifice of the bee that flew into Doug Ford's mouth.

A RHINO

If mat is raising funds for his recovery share a link I will (and I'm sure most people here) contribute to it.

Thomas Stevens

Recently the Pod Save guys said that Trump is actually the incumbent in the race. I think you guys said something similar before but its hilarious that the mainstream narrative now is that Biden was Trump’s second term.

Ben Clarkson

They gonna sell a book for Matt.

Eric

Born in Illinois, I can confirm my white dad thinks pepper is too spicy and he would cry and throw up if he had to try like, sriracha or tabasco

Henrik

Ella Emhoff was college roommates with a girl i dated in HS. See yall at the inauguration

T

Our current crop of elders are fucking garbage grandparents too. I grew up with depression era grandparents who themselves were raised by World War One veterans. My grandparents were as much parents to us than our own boomer parents, except with more love and attention. My kids have boomers for grandparents, who they barely see because their boomer grandparents are too busy with their garage bands playing bad covers of Tequila Sunrise by The Eagles.

Doug Cartel

It will never stop being funny how PISSED conservatives are about white dudes in commercials

Jaime Christley

the infomercials that began "Has this ever happened to you?" and it's a white guy slowly dropping 47 different items and collapsing on his driveway - emasculated an entire generation.

T

Love putting Kraft singles on my hamburger soup

M.R. Alchemist

But But wada bout when OBAMA said white-people couldn't do the stanky-leg??? hmm???

demonsweat

As long as we're on Taco Discourse: worst Midwest food experience was taco pizza in Dubuque IA. Bonus awfulness for the Miracle Whip hiding under the iceberg lettuce.

Cody

I’d barely call this a show now

skrrt vonnegut

The brain-gut axis is really interesting. IIRC sometimes food preferences are transferred along with the gut bacteria. Imagine Brock Lesnar and Bolsonaro trading shit, and that's how we learn Bolsonaro is a cannibal.

Tea for the Tillerman

Friends with the president and still shuffling through the bowels of Fenway park alone yeesh

Ryan

I'll never forget the first time I saw that commercial with the 67 year old woman dropping 9 lbs of roast all over the kitchen... 25 years of humiliation later, and the west has fallen

Devin Poore

So you're claiming that him getting married on the anniversary was an anti-China move? Just clarifying since Johnson was attacking him as being pro-China for doing so.

George P

Legit shocked Mike Barnicle is still alive, let alone well enough to appear on television regularly. He got fired from the Boston Globe decades ago for fabricating stories like the reporter on The Wire and plagiarizing George Carlin. Gerontocracy in action.

George P

Just looked up and that was in 1998. What the fuck, Mike Barnicle retire bitch

grymm

No disrespect to Will and Felix who are both great but Matt was the heart of this show.

Geneyus

The Milo group chat texts are what I imagine Ed, Edd, and Eddy group chats about how to make money for jawbreakers would look like.

etienne

the Hot Sauce boom is the same thing as the craft IPA craze from 10 years, it's just an overcorrection to the means. at some point all the weirdos that went off into the deep end with capcaicin extracts are gonna die off and the reasonable sauces are gonna get bought by Kraft and distributed to the chips aisle at Korb Torsons market

Ashley Naftule

Mr. Weeks, Mr. Beast, Mr. Worldwide—too many misters, need to cull them before they throw the delicate balance of our ecosystem out of whack

T

And in all likelihood he’s never coming back :-(

Tvvvv

We must finish the great work of merging Matt with the machine. His second tome on fast food and condiments will heal this divided world.

Tvvvv

Wrong. Will is the heart, Felix is the body, Matt is the mind, Chris is the sympathetic nervous system, and Amber is the vagina. Virgil was the glasses and they got laser eye surgery. Brendan was like the beard or the hair.

Jaime Christley

The alcoholism epidemic in Russia - it's the same thing as that.

Matthew

Not to be confused with Mr. Weeks-where-decades-happen

Agent Grange

We NEEDED Matt here for the head to head against Felix in a pundit panel on if Midwestern white guy tacos are goy slop or scrumptious.

DJ Berj!

Were they referencing Virgil Texas frying his brain with whippets?

K H

I'm pleased Biden is unhappy, though disappointed he won't lose and die. I hope he retains sufficient cognition to die in misery.

Alex

I studied in Minot State University in North Dakota. For my first semester I was in the dorms and had to eat in cafeteria. They would have baked chicken with not even salt on it. And it was not just college. Local students when they took me to their homes would have similarly bland food. So yes Upper Midwest is known for bland spiceless food.

K H

Hahahahahaaaa. I forgot about that. Maybe.

K H

You must be Mr. Hauk Tua cuz you're spitting facts. Periodt

K H

A hot sauce I liked vanished like 2 years ago. Is it related? There are too many, I'm not trying all that.

K H

And I'll form...THE COCK!

Cooper Rodgers

Similar dynamics-IPA's are one of the cheapest, easiest beers to brew (no specialized equipment or additives required, high ABV and hop load can cover up a lot of mistakes) and the hot sauce business has a surprisingly low entry cost

K H

That's crazy to plagiarize Carlin of all people. Usually you pick someone nobody has heard of, like a Labour party leader, or Michelle Obama.

K H

I'm excited to reach the part of the episode where this makes sense.

T

I'm thinking that and/or Dasha

K H

Unironically this but add Hamas and a delegation from N. Korea. Also you know what. Fuck it. Azov Battalion too.

Sean

Alex keeps killing it. The bit about It's A Wonderful life had me dying

Sean

Sure felt like it

Lucas

He's a centrist whose progressive reputation is entirely from him being savvy enough to (mostly) not get in the way of a mobilized left flank in the state legislature after the DFL won a trifecta in 2022. He's not great on labor - he has repeatedly sided with Mayo over their workers, and vetoed a minimum wage bill for rideshare drivers. That and he's the reason the National Guard was marching through my neighborhood enforcing a curfew in 2020, so I'm still a bit salty from that.

SF

If the date is a coincidence then it’s a coincidence, but what I can say for certain is that Walz is absolutely, unambiguously anti-China, has been for decades, and has consistently sponsored spooky anti-China bills, etc., including wacko Falun Gong “organ harvesting” stuff, in addition to support for every colour revolution regime change op going. Of course he would say he “loves the Chinese people” and just wants them to taste freedom like we have in the west or whatever. He’s very very bad on China.

SF

To clarify, I am pro-China. Walz is anti-China. This is one of the many reasons I find him disgusting. Another is his ardent Zionism.

Schwartz666

Fair points to you all. I agree he's definitely not perfect. Just seems better than most, which is about all one can hope for.

Schwartz666

I've never seen any of his comments on Zionism, I will have to look them up.

Schwartz666

Trust me, I would have definitely preferred Bernie, but that ship has sailed.

Schwartz666

Admittedly, I'm too ignorant about Falun Gong and Chinese / US relations to understand his role. I will do some research though. Thanks for info.

BossHoss

“Cui Bono, who benefits?" "Cui gives a shit, it's got a fuckin bow on it.”

J-Lo

Man I’m really excited for Matt’s book. I miss our large Midwestern boy, like a ton.

Rizztopher Walken

My favorite part of this show is when Will repeats and philibusters a good joke which kills all riff momentum. Luckily it happens all the time.

Dylan

Huhvudduhbuhbuh

Erik Weissengruber

When in Chicago, visit Chicagoland Games. The difference is selection.

J.P. McD.

Still hasn’t appeared in my PocketCasts feed…

Boaz Corey

For what it's worth, I've never seen people eat more mayonnaise than Mexican ranchers and fisherman in rural Baja California.

K H

Loli liu lei lo

Michael

Philibusters

Christopher Price

my favorite part of these comments is when someone says something really stupid and their patreon profile says they aren't supporting any creators. someone goes through all of the work and makes up a sock puppet just to post "phillibusters"

Christopher Price

lol, he's not anti-China. he has the standard lib positions on the usual issues, but he's anti-adversarial in Chinese relations, which might as well put him as a fellow traveler compared to 99% of american politicians. like, yeah, sure politicians should have higher standards but internet weirdos also need to quit escalating to the worst possible terms when discussing these basic, boilerplate politicians. good lord.

Burrito_Bandito

Korb Torson can’t be the name of a real place

raychilldolezal

Do not replace Matt with Alex. Replace Virgil with Alex

Petrorenminbi

I would be so owned if JD Vance went to West Philly and said something about Kool-Aid and fried chicken, I really hope he doesn’t do that

jugsdotgov

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but nitrous as an inhalant was discovered by a scientist named Humphrey Davy, who did so by inhaling a variety of gasses out of animal bladders until he found the one that got him and his friends the most fucked up

Shfifty_five

I phillibusted all over that Israeli Aid Bill Have fun signing that Brandon!

Aaron

Coastal elites can't run a God damned Taco John's commercial at the end? Shameful

etienne

WU TANG KILLA BEES WE IN THE SWARM

foreversincebreakfast

I could have sworn Mike Barnicle died a few years ago. I must’ve slipped into a different timeline.

MKatieUltra

My sister made a puppet skit about him once!

Wilian Moreira

just wanted to say i got the deckard cain reference, it was hilarious

MKatieUltra

I wanna say that’s a thing they cribbed from the manosphere/MRAs

Gooch Immane

A enterprising, cheerful mustachioed man of the Mexican persuasion might do well with a sombrero and poncho full of basic Goya sazón

Jonathan G

Alec did amazing, but he needs to laugh at Will/Felix

Nick Boni

Biden's "Wonderful Life" family having well-behaved dogs is an all time joke on this show

Zach H.

Is the Right’s insinuation that Walz is a Chinese sleeper agent just them trying to manifest the ‘Rice President’ bit from Cumtown?

Savannakhet

Nah replace Virgil with Ettingermentum.

Tyler Sutherland

Times like these make me ask, "Cui boner-- Who gets a boner?"

Tyler Sutherland

"That's veterans; they follow the biggest guy and do what he says" That also describes the dang Minions, Alex!

Reece Coren

“we all know what happened to chandler” 🤣
